    These wildfires have more in common with tornadoes and earthquakes then they do other natural disasters.
    We are under not only a High Wind Warning, but a Flood watch too.
    Ok, we have had advance notice for at least 2-3days.

    These wildfires can, as the article said, explode overnight. Go to bed, everything is fine. Wake up next morning to the smell of smoke and a mandatory evacuation.
    I read in one wildfire last year, a woman went to bed at 10pm, the fire 30miles from her home. At 2am a firefighter is pounding on her door and she had less than 5 minutes to get out.
